By Jacer from TFW2005:Kids Logic has updated their facebook page with the new Mecha Nations Starscream. This figure is non-transforming but has great poseability to make up for it! He lights up like the rest of his peers and includes a Megatron in his pistol mode.

Check out the other image and more information about Starscream after the jump, and possibly give your opinion in the discussion thread.

By Mechafire from TFW2005:Hot Toys' Facebook page has just revealed their newest product - Hot Toys Optimus Prime! A non-transforming G1 Optimus Prime figure, this product is also labeled as being the "Starscream Version", as it bizarrely enough is packaged with a bunch of G1 Starscream-based accessories.

“One shall stand, one shall fall"

Check out our first images from Comic Con 2014 showing off the popular arts with Guardians of the Galaxy and of the San Diego Convention Center.

By Mechafire from TFW2005:IDW’s Transformers comics are still chugging along nicely, and the final issue (for now) focusing on Fan-Built-Bot Windblade has finally arrived. After the mysteries that have been set up in the previous three issues, will the fourth one pay off? TFW2005 is once again here to bring you an early review. The full issue will be out tomorrow - Wednesday, July 23 - but for right now, you can check out our review of Transformers: Windblade #4!

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Some more new images from this month's new Figure Oh magazine have been posted on NSFW Japanese board 2Chan. In addition to the first look at Masterpiece Star Saber which we reported on this morning, this issue contains a fresh look at the non-transforming Magazarak (Scorponok) by Sentinel, a look at the exclusive items for the Japanese Transformers Expo, coverage of the BAPE Masterpiece Convoy (a green MP-10) and a new look at the Age of Extinction Optimus Prime Dual Model Kit.

In addition to all this, there are some details of a new Micron prize campaign figure. Micron Astrotrain will be available in August from Toys R Us Japan with a purchase of 3,000 yen or more on Transformers products. He is a translucent purple version of the Payload figure who comes with the Legends class Generations Cosmos.

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Million hero have updated their blog with the results of the blog which they recently held to determine the exclusive Transformers mail-away figure with the upcoming Transformers Generations Volume 2 book. Narrowly topping the poll by less than 0.5% of the vote is Go-Shooter from the 1988 series Transformers Chojin Masterforce, redecoed from Generations Nightbeat. Narrowly behind in second place was Alpha Trion, a redeco of the Generations Scourge, and then, with just under 15% of the vote, we find the Beast Wars Fuzor Silverbolt themed redeco of Beast Hunters Grimwing.

Bad news for those hoping for some Omnibots though - the trio of Autobots who were mail-away exclusives back in the 80s took less than 5% of the vote between them, with Camshaft in last place.

Mark Bellomo will be attending NJCC Sunday, August 17th 2014 as a special guest, promoting his work on the new book G.I. Joe: The Complete Collection, the full run of original Real American Hero, Special Missions, and Yearbook tales, placed in proper reading order and collected in handsome hardcover volumes.

Mark Bellomo has written more than 150 articles for ToyFare, Wizard Magazine, Lee’s Toy Review, Tomart’s Action Figure Digest, and most recently for Toy Shop Magazine, where he served a lengthy tenure as their Action Figure Columnist.

Joe: 1982-1994 (1st & 2nd editions), and the recently-released Totally Tubular 80’s Toys.

Announced NJCC Door Prizes! This list will grow as we get closer to convention time....

By StayingInTheBox from TFW2005:Third party/unofficial group Gigapower has just shared new test shot images of their upcoming HQ-03 release, their take on a masterpiece styled Snarl. From Gigapower's update on Facebook we know the new images show off one of their test shots currently being worked on, which stands head and shoulders above the height of MP-10! Mentioned in the update: the silver parts will be diecast, the chest piece will be translucent, and we can also expect more project updates coming again soon.

Check out the images after the break and let fellow collectors know what you think!

By ORIO from TFW2005:2005 Board member, Negonicus, has got his hands on one of the next upcoming voyager figures from the Age of Extinction line - Voyager Drift! This wave 3 voyager is a retool of Dark Of the Moon Skyhammer. Being Drift, he naturally comes with swords for slicing up gnarly Bumblebee clones like Stinger.

By Sol Fury from TFW2005:Scans from the latest Japanese magazines have begun to circulate online - and in an exciting twist, this latest batch of hobby magazines contains our very first look at Masterpiece Star Saber!

This magazine scan shows Masterpiece Star Saber in both robot and spaceship mode. In robot mode, he comes armed with his Saber Blade, and it is evident from this image he's already got the original Star Saber outdone for poseability. What's more, the magazine scan shows that the smaller jet / robot Transformer who forms the core of Star Saber, Saber, is also included and looks very sharp.

This makes Star Saber the first Masterpiece Transformer to feature the longstanding Transformer gimmick of "smaller transforming robot who combines with a trailer to form a super robot" and he appears to do it extremely well. The innermost robot figure in this Transformers series of Russian dolls, the core Brainmaster, is discussed in the accompanying text but is not yet confirmed, though we'd imagine it will be included since it was a key feature of the original.

Check out the latest scan which comes via aloadofhupla on Twitter after the break.

By Tony_Bacala from TFW2005:Just a friendly reminder - the auction for unreleased G2 Gobots - many of which eventually became Spychangers in 2001's Robots In Disguise line - is set to end today in a couple hours. Prior to this listing, they were not seen in this complete a state, and 2 have still never been mass-produced. If you like that super rare hard to find goodness - this is it.

By Mechafire from TFW2005:TFW2005 boards member Red Snarl has received his Transformers Collectors' Club Figure Subscription Service 2.0 Thrustinator figure, and has been kind enough to share with us a gallery as well as some quick thoughts.

Check it out after the jump, and if you signed up, you can look forward to receiving your own Thrustinators soon!
